    TRAFFIC RULES AND REGULATIONS For the Holland Tunnel Lincoln Tunnel George Washington Bridge Bayonne Bridge Goethals Bridge Outerbridge Crossing Revised September 2016 The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is a self-supporting agency of the States of New York and New Jersey. It was created by a compact between the two States in 1921 for the development of transportation facilities and the promotion and protection of commerce in the New York/New Jersey metropolitan region. At the top of the organization is the twelve-member Board of Commissioners, appointed by the Governors of New York and New Jersey. There are six members from each state who serve for six-year overlapping terms. The Commissioners serve with-out pay as a public service. They report directly to the Governors of the two States, who have veto power over Commissioners’ actions. A career staff of more than 7,000 employees, headed by the Executive Director, is responsible to the Board of Commissioners. Over the years the Port Authority, at the direction of the States of New York and New Jersey has developed airports, marine terminals, bridges and tunnels, bus terminals, the PATH rapid transit system, the World Trade Center and other facilities of commerce and transportation. All of this has been accomplished without burden to the taxpayers. These undertakings are public projects; all are built with moneys borrowed solely on the Port Authority’s credit. There is no power to tax, or to pledge the credit of the States. i FOREWORD This booklet is intended to provide the users of Port Authority tunnels and bridges with detailed and specific information concerning rules, regulations and toll rates established by the Port Authority to regulate the conduct of traffic moving in or upon these vehicular crossings.

Introduction The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), in cooperation with the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT), will prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) that will study and document possible improvements to the Kosciuszko Bridge, focusing on a 1.1-mile segment of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (BQE) portion of I-278, from Morgan Avenue in Kings County to the Long Island Expressway (LIE) interchange in Queens County. In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA), a public "scoping" process will be conducted to identify the social, economic, and environmental issues to be evaluated in a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). This process ensures that the DEIS is a concise, accurate and comprehensive document that covers all concerns and issues for public and agency review. This Draft Scoping Memorandum is one of the first steps in the preparation of the DEIS for the Kosciuszko Bridge Project. It presents: (1) background information on the project, (2) the types of alternatives to be considered and the methods to be used to select alternatives for consideration in the DEIS, and (3) the projected procedures and methodologies to be followed in the preparation of the DEIS.
